Technologies that maintain and track temperatures in environments for finished products, from point-of-storage in snack and bakery facilities through distribution to the end customer, are becoming more connected. These systems are being integrated with refrigerators and freezers, temperature controls, and software to track temperatures throughout storage and distribution.

These cold-chain management tools give producers the ability to meet the demands of a rapidly changing marketplace. The snack and bakery supply chain is one of the most-complex, and many ingredients and products require cold-chain control.
